Recipe

What You Need

4 fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
6-8 fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon raw honey
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
4 ounces sparkling water, chilled
Ice
Step 1

Add the strawberries and basil leaves to a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker. Muddle gently until the strawberries release their juice and the basil is fragrant. You want to bruise the basil, not pulverize it.

Step 2

Fill your serving glass with ice. Strain the strawberry-basil mixture over the ice if you want a cleaner drink, or pour it all in if you like the texture of muddled fruit.

The Result

Strawberry basil smash with muddled berries, garden basil, honey, lime, and sparkling water. Naturally sweet, herbaceous, and ready in 10 minutes.
